A member asked:
Can you tell me docs, is brushing your teeth with baking soda and neem just as good as fluoride toothpaste?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Baking soda will cause wearing down your enamel and after a while, your tooth will look translucent and greyish, not white. The thicker the enamel, the whiter the teeth.

No: Use something that is approved for daily dental care. I very rarely use baking for anything else..Aside from baking!
